The Stratton Story (2006, DVD) Jimmy Stewart 1949
Description:
Chicago White Sox pitcher Monty Stratton is an affable long drink of
water with an easy, whiplike delivery and a pitch so unhittable the
young phenom racks up consecutive 15-win seasons. But Stratton's
greatest victory doesn't come on the manicured green diamonds of our
national pastime.
James Stewart portrays Stratton, who loses a leg in an accident just as
his career is on the rise...and whose triumph over despair and
disability leads him to pitch again. Stewart signed on for the role
when he realized the film would be an inspiration to injured World War
II GIs. The film still inspires. Awarded an Oscar for Best Motion
Picture Story, directed by Sam Wood (The Pride of the Yankees) and
supported by a top cast that includes real-life ballplayers, The
Stratton Story is sports biography at its best.
